Baidu's AI chip unit Kunlunxin is preparing an initial public offering in Hong Kong at a $50 billion valuation, according to Seeking Alpha. The filing requires strategic investors to commit to buying chips valued at up to seven times their allocated subscription amount.
Business operations Kunlunxin already supplies chips to major technology companies including Tencent and ByteDance. Seeking Alpha's quantitative rating system currently assigns Baidu a stable HOLD rating during the planned separation of the chip business. The proposed structure ties investor access to the IPO with future hardware purchase commitments from the new entity.
